Kirk and Spock on a planet where the people are separated into elite (cloud city) and workers (mines). Interesting idea, clumsily executed.
One of the most marginal ones I decided to review…I was desperate near the end.
Highlights:
hot trog – she can act, too!
Kirk’s interesting resolution
Lowlights:
some of Spock’s out-of-character musings and words
00:31:55 – “You know, Mr. Hunter, I really am quite fond of those Lippizaner stallions.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“‘Yes, Sir’ you’re aware that I’m fond of them, or ‘Yes, Sir’ you’re also fond of them?”
“Yes, Sir, I’m aware that you’re quite fond of them. Quite frankly, Sir, they’re starting to get on my nerves.”
“I see, Mr. Hunter”.
.
.
.
00:33:13 – “Mr. Hunter, do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, in France?”
“Royale with Cheese, Sir.”
“That’s right, Mr. Hunter.”
“Was there a point to that question, Sir?”
“Not really, Mr. Hunter. Just wondering about burgers.”
Kirk is transported into an empty duplicate of the Enterprise, where he meets a woman from a vastly overpopulated planet (Gideon). Meanwhile Spock bickers politely with a bureaucrat.
It’s not bad, but I never think to myself “I REALLY wanna watch THAT one.”
Highlights:
Spock’s diplomacy
moment of synchronicity
weirdness
Lowlights:
Kirk’s moments of crew apathy
really dumb number oversight
Gideon’s really dumb attempted solution
Some Irishmen/women must stay drunk to survive alien invasion.
This movie brought to you by ConLushCo, a subsidiary of The Booze Council.
Somewhat clever and fun, actually…mock-horror that’s fairly “believable.” Sort of like a watery ‘Tremors’.
Inspirational Quote: “Youuuu…really are Irish.”
Grade: C-
7/14/18: The Great Grade Update. Grade: C
Basically this is Trek’s way of making an obvious statement on the stupidity of racism while still getting around the 60’s censors.
A guy who’s white on one half and black on the other meets the same, only switch halves. They hate each other and the Enterprise crew observes their mutual hatred and propaganda. Good message, ok episode.
Highlights:
guest actors
chat over drinks
ending
Lowlights:
UNNECESSARY ZOOM!!!
longgggg destruct sequence
“go ahead”???
Spock’s play-by-play
Spockism: “To expect sense from two mentalities of such extreme viewpoints is not logical.”
Kirk and Spock visit a mental asylum and encounter a former starship captain who now considers himself Master of the Universe. And, of course, he tries to take over the Enterprise.
Very flawed but quite interesting.
Highlights:
Garth
Marta
Kirk vs. Garth
very interesting (if stupid) resolution
Lowlights:
the dance
weird uggo prisoner line
the coronation
bad continuity
Spockism: “On the contrary, you were treated with justice and compassion, which you failed to show towards any of your intended victims…”
An arranged marriage to make peace between two planets depends on “instructing” a rather savage leader of one of the planets. Lots of interesting interaction between Kirk and Elaan. And then there’s sabo2G to set up the necessary secondary plotline (imminent destruction). A good one.
Highlights:
Elaan
Kirk’s accurate assessment
Kirk vs. Elaan
Kirk w/ Elaan…ROWR!
Lowlights:
very little Spock action
00:20:20 – “Mr. Hunter…do you like movies about gladiators?
“No, Sir.”
“‘No Sir’, you don’t like movies about gladiators, or…’No Sir’ you…”
“Doesn’t work for this, Sir.”
“I see, Mr. Hunter.”
.

00:22:46 – “Mr. Hunter…have you ever been in a Turkish prison?”
.
.

Kirk, Spock, and McCoy have to try to escape from a planet where (almost) everyone has the power of mental domination and uses it at will and with total disregard for the dominated.
One of the best third-season episodes. Also features the Kirk/Uhura kiss.
Highlights:
Alexander
the mood
interesting/disturbing scenes
Spock’s musings/reckonings
Lowlights:
some silliness
Spockism: “Whose harmony? Yours? Plato wanted truth and beauty, and above all, justice.”
The Enterprise has to change the path of an asteroid/spaceship whose people think they’re living on a real world. Decent but unexciting.
Highlights:
old man
Natira
Lowlights:
not nearly enough highlights
A creature that feeds on hate traps Klingons on the Enterprise and tries to make everyone kill each other over and over.
It’s an interesting premise and a decent episode, especially for season 3.
Highlights:
Kang
believable emotional outbursts
tense mood
Lowlights:
cr@ppy ending
I was slogging through sh1tty season three Star Trek episodes when I realized what was in that case in Pulp Fiction: a Medusan!
Very flawed but I have a strange affinity for this one.
Landing party gets sent to a Tombstone, AZ re-creation to take part in the ‘Gunfight at the O.K. Corral’ – as the losers.
Highlights:
the premise
guest acting
the mood
the score (hey, it’s cool)
some very interesting exchanges
Lowlights:
moments of obvious stupidity
moments of dumb bickering
Spockism: “History…cannot be changed.”
Kirk and Spock go “undercover” to get a Romulan cloaking device. It probably was much more interesting when it first came out, but without the suspense it’s just a mildly interesting episode.
Highlights:
the premise
Spock’s performance
Lowlights:
dull lulls
The Enterprise meets Gary Seven in the 20th Century, and has to decide if he’s there for good or evil. Vaguely remembered as “one of those 20th Century earth episodes”, this one is a bit better than season one’s.
Highlights:
cute but ditzy secretary
Gary Seven
fairly interesting ending
Lowlights:
not particularly exciting or sci-fi
The Enterprise installs a new computer that supposedly will replace manned starships. It does increasingly naughty/illogical things until Kirk and Co. have to try to destroy it. Lots of cheeze, but I really like it.
Highlights:
good premise
Spock vs. McCoy
most of Daystrom’s input
landing party drama
Spock’s insult explanation
interesting non-fascination
Spock vs. McCoy again
Lowlights:
Wesley’s acting
Kirk’s sailing ramblings
Daystrom’s insane musings near the end with SCARY music
cheezy resolution
Spockism: “Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them.”
A Federation observer corrupts a planet into a new Nazi Germany, trying to bring order (success) while leaving out the hateful racism and propaganda (failure).
Highlights:
Spock’s helmet reveal
Spock’s barn confusion
a clip joint-RUFF!
Spock’s revelation
Isak the Zeon
epilogue
Lowlights:
given the premise, not as good as it could have been
weak heils and chants, on and on and on…
weak ending
Spockism: “Captain, I’m beginning to understand why you Earthmen enjoy gambling – no matter how carefully one computes the odds of success, there is still a certain exhilaration in the risk.”
The Enterprise encounters a massive single-celled entity that appears to drain the life out of everything and everyone it comes near.
A decent episode.
Highlights:
antici…
McCoy/Spock decision
McCoy/Spock interaction
Spock’s calm reports
Lowlights:
a bit of over-long over-drama
pation – dumb ending
Spockism: “Tell Dr. McCoy he should have wished me luck.”
The Enterprise visits a planet whose culture is based entirely on one book about Chicago gangs of the 1920’s.
Intentionally amusing, with lots of heavy cheeze. Kirk and Spock especially have fun with the concept.
Highlights:
Scotty’s “heater” confusion
Spock’s helpful near-ruining of plan
Spock’s slight radio miscalculation
good guest acting
car hijinx
Kirk’s sudden accent/grammar changes
Lowlights:
one blatantly stupid Fizzbin contradiction
Mostly this is two characters sharing dull dialogue from separate bathroom stalls. You only get to see one of them, making it that much more interesting. Very close to the end there are a few non-lavatory shots, but they’re just as meaningless and dull.
There’s also some zombies, but they’re more of a side attraction probably thrown in to get “zombie” in the movie description.
If you watch very carefully, you can see one woman caressing another woman’s ALMOST-BARE BACK in the beginning.
Grade: F
The feel-good equivalent of ‘The City On The Edge Of Forever’.
By that I mean it’s the best feel-good Trek episode ever, and ‘City’ is the best dramatic one ever. Sort of like Trek movies IV and II.
Highlights:
Chekov’s quips/personality
Under-Secretary Baris
Spock’s easy override of dismissal
Trelane’s return as Klingon commander
Klingon second-in-command
Spock’s commentary throughout
A fat Tribble
second-in-command’s inspired provocation
Scotty’s explanation
cuteness factor
a lotta’ will
Tribble avalanche
perceptive Tribbles
ending humility
Lowlights:
Not particularly “exciting”…but that’s intended
some over-feel-good dramedy
overlong barroom brawl
convenient plot conclusion
Spockism: “They do not talk too much. If you’ll excuse me, Sir.”
Whenever you’re feeling horrible, horrific, hopeless, helpless, (many other words that apply)…as if your life is simply more painful than it is pleasurable, as if it would be a relief to be rid of that pain, (many other statements that apply), think about this:
Do you have anyone, or anything…any being…in your life that loves you, cares about you, depends on your presence in some way? That would be greatly harmed by your absence, your non-existence?
If you don’t…adopt. Pets are some of the best friends you can ever have.
If you do, then your existence serves a purpose. It is necessary. And therefore, if only for that, you must exist. If you believe at all in taking care of those who love you, and who you love.
That’s what I do. You can’t abandon those you love, no matter what…or you don’t love them.
Therefore I must exist. Therefore, I do.
Semper Fidelis
P.S. – Because it wouldn’t be a fully “me” post without a bit of silliness and mockery, here goes:
Basically what I’m saying is that offing myself is RIGHT OUT.
So if I ever turn up mysteriously mostly-dead, take it with the validity of this:
“No. He died. He have heart attack and fell out of window onto
exploding bomb, and was killed in shooting accident.” – MPFC, ‘The Cycling Tour’
Flawed but very interesting. It’s the Jack The Ripper one, using the theory that He was in fact an It, surviving through centuries, taking physical form briefly to kill and then disappearing, moving on.
Highlights:
the premise
Mr. Hengist
Scotty doing some decent acting
creepiness
empathic revelation/pained revulsion
logical pattern to Hengist
Spock’s Pi compulsion
happy death murmurs
Lowlights:
blow on the head cr@p
Redjac’s stupidity
some interrogation melodrama/stupidity
Spockism: “In the strict scientific sense, Doctor, we all feed on death…even vegetarians.”
Landing party meets some REALLY old young people.
Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, and someone else become infected with a disease that causes massively increased aging, Chekov does not. The struggle is to find a cure before they die of old age. The subplot is Kirk’s failing command abilities, leading to a hearing on his competence.
Highlights:
Two infected people in the intro
Chekov’s quips
Kirk’s quick nap
Spock’s loyalty
McCoy’s quick nap
Spock’s truly dramatic performance/reactions
good old corbomite
Lowlights:
tepid Kirk/lady-of-the-week romance
some old overacting
overly dramatic hearing
Kirk’s really bad old performance/reactions
McCoy’s lip-licking
There’s a big plot here, of course…near destruction, so on.
But the real attraction is Spock and his parents: their interactions, and the interactions of others with/around them.
Highlights:
Sarek
emphasis on Spock
a teddy bear!
opposition to survival odds estimation
Spock vs. his mother (truly dramatic)
interesting background on Spock
great ending
Lowlights:
Kirk’s HAIKIBA! kick and sloowwwww recovery
Kirk’s episode summation
sadly-easy combat resolution
Spockism: “Humans smile with so little provocation.”
I had thought, for quite a while, about becoming a vegetarian. Still do, occasionally.
However, the borderline-insanity intolerant and demanding preaching of militant vegans has evoked in me the same reaction that militant atheists used to have toward religion, before their cause became archaic and passe.
Throwing off one’s own “chains” (Thank you, Albert) is fine…but to yell at other people to demand that they do likewise serves no logical or useful purpose. It merely alienates them and, if anything, pushes them away from your cause. Which is why I find true believers (or non-believers) infinitely preferable to crusaders of any kind – only an emotional coward (Thank you, DD) would change their beliefs because someone else TOLD them to. And, as long as any individual is doing no harm with their beliefs – or lack thereof – to mock, insult, yell at, etc…them simply because you feel you are “right” is childish and petty. And a thorough waste of time.
Well…I appear to have gotten a little off topic there, but…no harm done.
I like the taste of meat. I’m an omnivore. Therefore, I will keep eating it. If you don’t like that…WTF do I care?
Just add “Militant Vegans” to the list of unwelcome site visitors. Thank you.
-Puppy >.< Yip!
The Enterprise shuttlecraft gets pulled down onto a planet where they meet Zefram Cochrane and “The Companion”. Relatively low-key, very few players. I find it interesting, though…truly touching, at times.
Highlights:
Zefram Cochrane
inter-species love story
Lowlights:
Ending
An android takes over the Enterprise and takes it to a planet where Harry Mudd rules supreme. Not quite the second coming of Khan, but it’s not bad. Especially compared to the first Mudd episode, which stunk.
LOTS of silliness, but it’s mildly interesting.
Highlights:
Spock’s danger confirmation
Chekov’s android interaction
Uhura’s monologue
Spock’s fascination
Spock’s explanation of logic
Lowlights:
Stella interactions
some of the silliness
smoking Norman
cr@ppy ending
Spockism: “Nowhere am I so desperately needed as on a shipload of illogical humans.”
Highs:
Rain In The Face
head like Napoleon
convenient ladder
conspicuous (derived from the Latin)
Curly’s free kiss
shakin’ the tootsies
impromptu dance
insufficient rat poison
brief banquet
Curly’s defiance
Lows:
initial pest placement
cat placement
cat piano
piano gags
ending
Grade: B-
12/11/16: Good stuff. And they’re not afraid to tackle politics. Grade: B
A long leech-shaped object with a glowing center slices, dices, and eats planets!
The conflicts are between two ships and said object, and (more interestingly) members of the crew and Commodore Decker.
Highlights:
most of Decker’s performance
Spock’s performance
interpersonal conflict
ending – nicely dramatic
Lowlights:
battle scene(s) conflict
Decker’s ending overacting
Spockism: “Vulcans never bluff.”
A planet that seems beautiful is explored, with dangerous results. Then they find a group of people that worship a snake-head god type thing.
Extremely marginal. Just barely worth reviewing, really…and only because of Spock’s contributions.
Highlights:
relaxed explanation of the word “kill”
Kirk’s ending Satan joke/Spock’s reaction
Lowlights:
extended redshirts death intro
Spockism: “I submit there is no cause for worry. They’ve taken the first step – they’ve learned to kill.”
Well, til now. Sorta. :P
‘Punch Drunks’ – It’s got moments, but sometimes it’s REALLY dull. Watch it once if you must.
‘Disorder In The Court’ – Same. Better, but when I did these I didn’t review anything lower than a B-. And this would be lower.
Ok, so there’s TWENTY-SIX directors here. They each take a letter and make a short film based on a word beginning with said letter.
That means, each director is responsible for 1/26th of a movie. Not even 5 minutes. You’d think with that little responsibility there’d be some interesting ideas, because 1) It’s 26 times easier than making a full movie and 2) There’s 26 chances.
So it’s really sad how many times the ultra-mini-movies suck.
Here are the ones I found interesting:
D (Disturbing, but stick with it for the twist)
H (Very silly, but somewhat interesting)
Q (EASILY my favorite…makes the sh1t ones look that much dumber)
U (Undead point of view)
V (Sci-fi dystopian, interesting)
That’s 5 out of 26.
Some of the rest are so absurd that they’d finish below P.P. Pasolini’s ‘The Third Test Match’.
And of course there’s sh1tloads of credits.

Merlin comes to modern times to sell stuff; Ernest Borgnine alternately bores and traumatizes a small child.
Highlights:
cheezy drama/music
barren jokes
Borgnine jokes
monkey jokes
pretty good riffing
Inspirational Quote: “He blamed your wiener.”
Grade: C+
I thought I knew all it took to bother you
Every word I said was true; that you’ll see
How could it be I’m the only one who sees
Your rehearsed insanity Yeah
I still refused all the methods you’ve abused
Its alright if you’re confused; let me be
I’ve been around all the pawns you’ve gagged and bound
They’ll come back and knock you down
And I’ll be free
I’ve taken all and I’ve endured
One day it all will fade I’m sure
I don’t owe you anything
I don’t owe you anything
I don’t owe you anything
I don’t owe you anything
I had no hand in your ever desperate plan
It will turn and when it lands words are due
I should have known we were better off alone
I looked in and i was shown you were too
I’ve taken all and I’ve endured
One day it all will fade I’m sure
I don’t owe you anything
I don’t owe you anything
I don’t owe you anything
I don’t owe you anything
I don’t owe you anything
I don’t owe you anything
I don’t owe you anything
I don’t owe you anything

Kirk and a few others beam up into an alternate universe and meet Evil Spock. And evil others; but Spock is the key, like he usually is.
Moments of stupidity, but mostly quite interesting.
Highlights:
the premise
Spock/Evil Spock
general mood
Kirk/Evil Spock interaction
Kirk’s speech – truly moving, really
Lowlights:
Kirk’s amazing cheezy revelation/weak cheezy reactions to it
weak Evil supporting reactions on the Good Enterprise
Kirk’s “romance”
fitting in Marlena
sad DRAMATIC combat
sad DRAMATIC Uhura/music
Spockism: “I do not threaten, Captain. I merely state facts.”
Another second-tier favorite.
The Enterprise encounters “Nomad”, a slightly altered version of a known probe that is now seeking out “perfect” life forms and destroying all others. Kirk and company try to deal with it before it kills everyone.
Highlights:
a whole lotta Nomad
Spock’s Nomad indignation
a lot of interesting lines and conflicts
bluey?
the last 10-11 minutes, really
Lowlights:
long mental probing of Nomad
sudden, convenient episode name
Spockism: “Your logic was impeccable, Captain. We are in grave danger.”
The Enterprise meets Apollo on a distant planet. He wants them to stay and worship him, Kirk of course does not comply. Really stupid in parts, but it has some good moments. Watch the ending, at least.
Highlights:
Apollo’s rage
interesting theory on the Greek Gods
Chekov again
Apollo’s wistfulness
Kirk providing me with great pleasure by annoying CA/A’s
truly dramatic ending
Lowlights:
INCREDIBLY stupid intro intro, especially McCoy’s commentary
low Spock quotient
Spockism: “Insults are effective only where emotion is present.”
Spock enters “mating time”. So events lead up to that battle between Jim Carrey and Matthew- No, ummm, not quite.
But it’s got the battle, and the DRAMATIC music (lots of it), and lots more. It’s actually quite interesting, often dramatic, and even moving at times…the whole episode, not just the climax.
Highlights:
Spock’s performance
Chekov and his quips
very interesting ideas
real drama
cool first weapon
Spock’s logical/emotional outburst
Ending
Lowlights:
stalking nurse
cheezy unreal drama
cr@ppy second weapon
Spockism: “After a time, you may find that “having” is not so pleasing a thing after all, as “wanting”. It is not logical, but it is often true.”
It’s got a really stupid episode name!
Besides that, it’s the one with the noisy, semi-flying jellyfish that take over human hosts and eventually drive them insane. Fairly interesting.
Highlights:
focus on Spock
Lowlights:
jellyfish blobs
the obvious escaping everyone several times
Spockism: “It is proving to be an inconvenience…but it is manageable.”
My favorite episode ever, just ahead of ‘The Trouble With Tribbles’. Kirk and Spock must travel back in time to prevent McCoy from changing history and thus negating their own existence. Interesting premise, great execution…a minimum of cheeze, and lots of interesting scenes and lines.
Highlights:
The Guardian of Forever
Much of Spock’s commentary
possible icemen sighting!
Kirk doing some actual ACTING
Edith Keeler
actual emotional involvement
Lowlights:
Spock’s brief out-of-character emotional outburst
Spockism: “He knows, Doctor. He knows.”
One of my non-Favorites (‘The Trouble With Tribbles’, “The City On The Edge Of Forever’) favorites.
Kirk and Spock are trapped on a planet of seemingly placid humans who seem unconcerned by the sudden outbreak of war between Federation and Klingons, even when the Klingons occupy their planet. The contrast between the extreme conflict and the peaceful occupants is quite interesting, if somewhat cheezy. Hey, it’s Star Trek.
Highlights:
Commander Kor
Kirk/Spock’s confusion/frustration
Spock’s accuracy
ending
Lowlights:
random inconsistent castle
“go climb a tree”????
Spockism: “I should say the Organians are as far above us on the evolutionary scale as we are above the amoeba.”
People are being killed by an unknown creature at a mining colony, and the Enterprise is called to investigate. It’s a bit more complex than that makes it seem, in a good way. A bit unusual for a Trek episode, in terms of setting/plot, and not the most exciting, but it’s not bad.
Highlights:
focus on Spock
Spock’s emotional concern for Kirk
cute doggyish movements
admirable maternal instinct
Lowlights:
creature costume
Spockism: “It seems logical, Captain. The Horta has a very logical mind. And after close association with humans, I find that curiously refreshing.”
Private Pyle: I AM…in a world…of SH1T.
Self-Preservation is the opiate of the masses.
Suck it, Trebek.

Noone seems to give a sh1t either way, so I figure I’ll take the same amount of hits for not posting as I get for posting.
Commentary: If the new game in which you try to knock someone out with one blow is the cause of teens going around trying to do it in real life, why do I doubt that a new game in which you try to give a small portion of your allowance/income to a charity of your choosing would have a similar effect?
Oh, by the way…I think in my next life, I’d like to come back as the President of France.
Why? Because I think it’d attract a lot of traffic to the website.

I’ve heard and read a lot of bullsh1t about “doing your best”.
Plenty of great quotes about it, really…here’s one of my favs:
(paraphrase, I don’t wanna look it up) “Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and f@ck the prom queen.” – Mediocre Dreckheimer flick.
Sounds really cool, like it could slide into ‘Pulp Fiction’, really great sound bite(sp?) and all, but it’s horsesh1t. Just like all the rest of them.
Truth is, the only people who think “Winning Is Everything” are losers, scumbags, and egotists.
The difficult thing is…your best is a LOT more than you probably think it is.
“I tried my best.”
“Did you win?”
“Doesn’t matter.”
“It matters to me!”
“What the fck do I care?”
…
– “…To say dying without attaining one’s aim is a foolish sacrifice of life is the flippant attitude of the sophisticates.”
– “To die without gaining one’s aim is a dog’s death and fanaticism. But there is no shame in this. This is the substance of the Way of the Samurai. If by setting one’s heart right every morning and evening, one is able to live as though his body were already dead, he gains freedom in the Way. His whole life will be without blame, and he will succeed in his calling.”
– Hagakure
And if you interpret that as morbid, you simply don’t understand.

So (and again, if this has already been done/proposed, fine…it SHOULD have been by now) I was just wondering, thinking about Crime Show A-Z (the one with that cute goth chick…ummm, call it X) because it has that cute goth chick and thinking about Monty Python because they were brilliant…and it occurred to me:
What if the actress that plays that cute goth chick on X guest-starred on ANOTHER show, using her real name? Like, appearing as herself, the woman that plays that cute goth chick on X?
Ok, so she appears on another show, and let’s say the show is a tasteless, irreverent comedy show, and they do a parody of a famous comedy troupe via one of their most famous sketches?
Now, if the character of the woman that plays that cute goth chick on X, appearing on said show as herself (in character), DIED during a sketch on that show (the character of the person that plays that cute goth chick, not the person that plays that cute goth chick), would they, in order to make sure she’s dead, have to do the following?
*Person 1* “Oh my lack of birdseed, she’s dead!”
*Person 2* “No she isn’t…she’s just restin'”
*Person 1* “What do you mean, “restin”??? Look at her, she’s stone dead!”
*Person 2* “No, no…I think she just prefers bein’ on her back. She’s beautiful ain’t she, lovely hair.”
*Person 1* “The hair don’t enter into it! She is definitely deceased!”
*Person 2* “She’s probably pinin’ for the fjords.”
*Person 1* “”Pinin’ for the fjords”??? What kind of talk is that? Look, she’s just layin’ there, flat on her back. She’s dead!”
*Person 2* “No no, she’s restin'”
*Person 1* “Alright then…if she’s restin’, I’ll wake her up” *lifts head of said pretending-to-be-dead actress from the couch she is on* “PAULEY…PAULEY…I GOT A NICE NEW BLACK CLOTHES SET FOR YA WHEN WAKE UP”
*Person 2* *Nudges the body of said actress* “There she moved.”
*Person 1* “No she didn’t! That was you pushin’ her!”
*Person 2* “I did not!”
*Person 1* “PAUUUUULEY!!!” *Thumps head lightly on armrest of couch as actress fights back a grin* “PAUUUULEY!!! PAULEY PERRETTE!!!!!” *Thump thump thump* “PAULEY!” *Releases head, which is still fighting back a grin, and which falls back onto the couch*
“Now that’s what I call a dead Perrette.”
And don’t give me any pronunciation nonsense, you can put that in the bucket. I mean “bouquet”.
-Puppy >.< Yip!
The Enterprise crew become content and quite happy when sprayed by spores…even Spock, which is quite entertaining.
Not my FAVORITE, but one of them…well-written and performed.
Highlights:
eerieness
Spock’s acting/antics/explanation
Kirk/Spock’s forced confrontation – at this point friendship well established, it is truly dramatic
Lowlights:
a continuity error or two
Spock’s random sexist remark
Spockism: “I am what I am, Leila. And if there are self-made purgatories, then we all have to live in them. Mine can be no worse than someone else’s.”
Too good not to have another-
Spockism, Part Two: “I have little to say about it, Captain. Except…for the first time in my life…I was happy.”
Also useful as a means to type the numbers 11/12/13 on the only appropriate day that I can.
Headline: ‘Miley Cyrus Shrugs Off EMAs Weed Controversy’
In other news: ‘Everyone In The World Shrugs Off Miley Cyrus Shrugging Off EMAs Weed Controversy’
Given a choice between the two of you as a means of entertainment (the words “singer”, “artist”, “actress” are all equally inapplicable to both) I’d take…the Sea-sick Croc-O-DIIIIILLLLE.
I mean, at least it’s got a decent bit o’ tail. OH!
